Should the EU backslide on Turkish entry, Erdogan could well renege on his commitment to support Swedish accession to NATO.

There was a post from a mass media site the other day saying Turkey was approving Sweden to join NATO. This turned out to be a bit of wishful thinking.

    Did they not know that Quran burning was propaganda? It happened, but it happened specifically to split Sweden from Turkey. I think it was discovered the person was working for Russia.

      Most folk in Turkey can’t consume media from outside sources as they (genuinely) lack the language skills. Turkish media is either just tabloids or state owned propoganda.

      Why would Turkish media tell them? They are controlled by Erdogan (where public tv reports about the election didn’t even mention his opponent by name… he was just “that other guy”).

      Well not sure about that, the Danish guy that did it have been doing similar things for a while. So while maybe it was somehow encouraged I’m sure he could have gotten the brilliant idea himself. What a genius display of free speech it was…
